Hello folks

Just discovered how to revive p t s

O K the club came to an end awhile back when the room was taken away from us by the members of the venue.

for those who came , a big thanks , it was fun and unique, the venue was alternative to say the least but hd much character.

the purpose was to promote new and up coming talent and I think we managed to do that.

I would particularly like to express my thanks to the ref for the web site and hoovering up songs to add to his increasingly high quality repertoire, Georgepapavgeris for being Greek and a staunch supporter and adding weight to the evenings, - wow! look at him go, moses for being alluring and there week after week , Chris Flegg for bringing us extra height while contining to cultiavte new material, - look at him go too, latest CD just out with 2 more in the pipe line

It was a success

Thanks also to Ross for being there when he could and long may the Barton project continue

The Mike Sparks

and Josie on the rassle, I mean raffle, well she only had to walk over the road

thanks one and all


You can find most of us at Herga on Mondays, Flegg books acts for the Monday Rose and Crown while he and I busk on Sats and fight over the Plough in Leverstock Green on Sundays

Thanks Max and Joe

That's very sad to hear. You were all very welcoming to us when we featured at your club. You made Sarah and Kathryn feel very welcome and a little bit special. Thank you for that. See you at Herga!

Markus and I have very fond memories of playing there and meeting John Breeze, all the other residents, Diane Easby and George Papavgeris. We had looked forward to it immensely and were not disappointed in the slightest. It was a smashing, friendly club, full of good singers and musicians, who were also good listeners. I hope I get to meet all those people again in the not too distant future.
